100th blog Giveaway

Ooh this is exciting... to celebrate my 100th blog entry I am doing my first giveaway! To be included in the draw, just leave a little comment and I will pick the winner's name at random late in the evening of 10th February, so that this little collection of hearts might be with you in time for Valentine's Day.

It's been another great day at work ~ I am so lucky to be able to work doing something I love and with the man I love ~ every day brings new joys and challenges.

I have found the correct link to a bit of info about our stand at the NEC, so here it is... Restoration Pavillion and I have sprung into action with planning and organising and things now seem well under control. Dave has finished creating our new logo which can be seen as our blog picture and will be on the front page of the website shortly.

Louise (of Louise Loves) popped in to see us today; she makes the most gorgeous cushions and things from vintage fabrics and creates her own design fabrics. If you haven't discovered her lovely website yet, it really is worth a view.

And finally, I just wanted to share this picture with you. These beautiful blooms will be cheering up my house for some time ...
... and I like them so much that I have popped them onto the website homepage for a little while. Amazingly, these are faux flowers ~ haven't things moved on since the days of garish coloured plastic tulips? Well, I can hear Dave in the kitchen, so there must be some tea on the way!
Chat soon, Liz
